Cheshunt 3 – 2 AFC Sudbury

11 Sep 2017

Early on both teams looked like as if they didnt know where the runs were, Adam Mills broke the deadlock when Cheshunt failed to pick him up from a corner and a shot into the ground bounced over everyone. Cheshunt responded immediately when Jason Hallett drifted across the box and slammed a left foot shot past Paul Walker. Hallet put Cheshunt into the lead with a strong header, then immediately followed up sliding in at the far post just before half time.

AFC Sudbury fought to get on terms and justice was perhaps done when Adam Mills dubiously awarded penalty was saved by Richard Hayward, but the Cheshunt stopper could do nothing about Sam Clarkes penalty minutes later. Sudbury forced the home side back but could not commit enough to breach the defence while Cheshunt looked so dangerous on the break.
